1. General description

With the Knowledge Quiz application you can create a question and answer contest to evaluate the knowledge of your followers and customers about your brand, products and services. The Knowledge Trivia will allow you to:

• Design the quiz completely tailored to your needs, personalized with photos, texts and videos.
• Combine different types of answers (single answer, multiple-answer and even sortable answers).
• Create as many questions as you want, and indicate which is the correct answer to each of them.
• Set a minimum score that the user must achieve for their quiz to be considered completed.
• Show custom final messages according to the number of correct answers in the Quiz.
• Reward the knowledge of the participants with a final draw among all the participants that have answered correctly the quiz questions.

2. How is the participation flow of the user

What will the user experience be like? The promotion is made up of different pages that the user will find when interacting with the promotion to participate, such as: the initial welcome page, the registration page, where the user will register with their data, the page that presents the questions of the quiz, etc. As a whole, the different pages will make up the structure of the promotion and the flow of participation that the user will follow to complete the promotional mechanics of the promotion.

Additionally, as the administrator, you can select which participation flow you want users to follow. Specifically, there are three different participation flows available: the Identified Mode, where the user must identify and register before playing; the Visitor Mode, where the user plays first and then identifies and registers; and the Anonymous Mode, where the user participates without identifying or registering. The choice of one mode or another will determine how participation and the user experience in the promotion will unfold.

Learn in this article how each participation flow works, as well as the different pages that make up a promotion.

4. Set up of the Knowledge Quiz

Set up the questionnaire with the questions you want to ask your participants. To do this, go to the promotion's "Editor":

Below are the steps you need to follow to customize your Quiz:

4.1. Create the questions

Then access the section Participation > Edit Knowledge Quiz and go under the Knowledge quiz tab.

When you access it, you will find the following configuration tabs:

The first step is to create the questions. Below, we explain the different types of questions you can set up:

a) "Single answer" question: The participant will only be able to select one of the possible answers:

b) Multiple answer question: The participant may select more than one answer.

c) "Sortable answer" question: the participant must put the answers in order (using all the options or a set number of them).

d) "Drop-down list" question: When the user places their cursor within the field, a list of possible answers is displayed.

e) "Autocomplete list" question: When the user places their cursor within the field and starts to type, the page displays possible answers.

f) Radio button list: All the answer options are simultaneously displayed in a list format. The participant can select the answer they want.

Next, decide what type of question you want according to the Quiz you want to design. Once you are clear about the type of question you want, click on the "New question" button:

The following window will appear to guide you through the creation process. Choose the type of question that best suits your needs based on what you have in mind:

Tip! In a Knowledge Quiz where users have to guess the correct answer, we recommend choosing "Single Answer". This creates a multiple-choice question.

Below are the options available for configuring the question:

A. Contents of the Question

You will see the options for editing the question, which you must complete with your own content:

You'll find the following options:

1. Question text: Type the question you want to ask users here.

3. Position: If you upload an image for the question, choose between a horizontal or vertical display.
4. Answers: Click on the pencil icon to rename each answer. Click on the "Add answers" button if you need to add more, use the copy response option to duplicate the answers or use the trash can icon if you need to delete answers.

B. Advanced options

Here you will find the options to set up your question:

• Feedback message text: You can present an informative text with the correct answer after users answer the question. You can customize different feedback messages for correct and incorrect answers.
• Hide Question text: In case your image already includes the text of the question.
• Container columns: It will allow you to indicate how many answers you want to show per row.
• Do not force 1 column-view for mobile devices.
• Question type: In case you need to modify the type of question you have initially created.

In case of a "Multiple-answer" question, you'll find the additional options:

• Minimum/Maximum of answers: It indicates the minimum and maximum number of answers that users can select.
• Select the scoring system: It will allow you to choose between:
  • Give the points for each correct answer selected: for each answer that is correct the user will be awarded the number of points indicated for that particular answer.
  • Give one single point if all the correct answers are selected: The question will only be considered to have been answered correctly if all the answers are correct. In this case, the user.

Note: Check the scoring system tutorial for more information.

4.4. Set the minimum score to complete the Quiz

A. Minimum score to complete the quiz

This option allows you to set the minimum score required to complete the quiz, that is, the minimum number of points the user must achieve for their quiz to be considered completed.

Practical example: In a knowledge trivia with 4 questions, where each correct answer scores 1 point, a minimum score of 3 points is set.

This means that the system will consider the quiz completed if the user has answered at least 3 out of the 4 trivia questions.

Close participation once the trivia is completed

If you define a minimum score, you can also enable the option “Prevent users from participating more than once after completing the stage”, which closes the stage for the user once they have completed the trivia, so they will not be able to participate again.

You can activate this option by checking the following box, which is available in the stage configuration options:

B. Create final messages based on correct answers

If you want the participant to receive a personalized message based on their result on the final quiz page, you can create different final messages:

Check here how to create personalized final messages based on the score.
